Glass stud. Facetted plano-convex glass octagonal gem, with chips on its flat back and possible traces of a loop or other attachment. Dress accessories of jet, and its less costly mass-produced imitations in black glass, became particularly popular in fashionable emulation of Queen Victoria's prolonged mourning for her Prince Consort, Albert, who died in 1861. Presented along with three wire fragments in open loops of 5.5mm diameter and 1mm thickness which may be related to this object, and which are at all events unlikely to be associated with others presented n the group.

Glass bead. Glossy opaque black sub-spherical bead with aperture of diameter 3.2mm. The unblemished surface, regular form and small aperture suggest a recent date. Jewellery of jet, and its less costly mass-produced imitations in black glass, became particularly popular in fashionable emulation of Queen Victoria's prolonged mourning for her Prince Consort, Albert, who died in 1861.

Glass bead. Moulded translucent mid blue annular bead. The bead was probably hand made using a rod as a former; a central moulded aperture is 4.5mm in diameter. The short annular form of blue bead was long-lived, and appears in later Iron Age graves at Garton and Wetwang Slack, East Riding of Yorkshire, though the majority may be of Early Anglo-Saxon date in Lincolnshire; they fall into Guido's (1978, page 65) Group 6iv.

Glass bead. Moulded translucent cobalt blue biconical bead; Guido (1978, page 97 fig. 37) referred to this form as her small biconical bead ; this example is at the large end of the size range she offers. One side of the bead protrudes more markedly than the other. The cylindrical aperture is 2.2mm in diameter. These are more usually Late Roman, but are known from Britain throughout the Roman period.

Copper alloy unidentified object. Cast bar of plano-convex section with a gentle expansion at its mid point; broken at both its narrower ends.

The rim of the case and its sides are both finely billeted, probably to afford grip. A bar for a hinged mechanism appears on each side of the object opposite the attachment point.

A copper alloy medieval (AD c.1350-1400) strap loop with an integral rivet. Overall, it measures 15.6mm long, 13.9mm wide and 3.7mm thick. It weighs 1.12g. The strap loop has a sub-rectangular frame, which is rectangular in section with bevelled outside edges. The integral rivet projects outward from the centre of one edge of the frame and is roughly oval in section and measures 4.0mm long, 3.2mm wide and 3.0mm thick. cf.

Copper alloy possible sword belt hanger fragment. Cast sub-triangular plate with a blunt-ended backward bent hook. The plate is gently concavo-convex in form and retains the stubs of two iron rivets, a fastening suggesting its robust attachment. This hook might alternatively have functioned to attach spur leathers, another use which would put significant stress upon the object. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650. Length: 32.7mm, Width: 12.5mm, Thickness: 2.8mm, Weight: 3.40gms.

Iron unidentified tanged implement. Wrought iron object comprising a tang of length 32mm, now of square section (though this form could arise from corrosion rather than manufacture), and a shouldered triangular 'blade' whose thickness increases from 3.3mm towards its flared end, where it is 8.5mm thick. This expansion is the opposite of the form expected of a bladed tool or weapon, and the generally good condition of the object suggests this is not merely an eccentric effect of corrosion. This reporter considers a function as a specialist craft tool or punch is perhaps the most likely…

Copper alloy possible mount. Cast flat-backed plate with central aperture 12mm square which is framed by a stepped border which protrudes most markedly next to the aperture. Sub-triangular knops project from the corners and from the mid point of each side; these may originally have comprised a two part motif with a smoother apex and textured base, perhaps resembling an acorn motif. The object is lightly curved, though whether this is a significant feature or the result of post-depositional damage is uncertain. The object lacks provision for fastening; were a back plate present an iden…

Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. Cast openwork strip with decoration comprising a rhomboid divided into four cells at either end with billeted swags and curlicues between and beside them. This reporter considers this is probably from a Georgian buckle frame, though the flat form and abraded condition admit the possibility of an earlier date and different function. Suggested date: probably Post-Medieval, 1720-1790. Length: 41.8mm, Width: 9.9mm, Thickness: 2.1mm, Weight: 3.18gms.

Copper alloy harness pendant fragment. Cast plate, of thickness 1.5mm and now of truncated trefoil form, with central drilled aperture of diameter 4mm. A slotted lug projecting from the edge is bent back to form paired loops for the suspension of a further element; the lug may have continued to serve as a rove for a rivet passing through the hole to attach a composite pendant to a leather strap. Spots of gilding remain on the display face. Composite harness pendants and decorated hangers are generally earlier in date (Ashley 2002, figs 5 and 6). Suggested date: Medieval, 1150-1225. …
